On the account of this, you may as well open up a Walcott thread, mate.

I'm not sure if Llorente is a target at all (other than because of his contract situation), though he would be a decent addition, I guess. However, 15 million pounds for a player with half a year left on his contract would be way too steep even if we were talking about the likes of Rooney and Van Persie, let alone Llorente.

Ridiculously optimistic.(even more so now)

Anyone who can put the ball in the back of the net would be nice but am not convinced FSG will put up for him and anyway,if we are desperate by then,and we may be unless Yesil is stepping up,which way will the price go if LFC is mentioned?

Strafing ground targets

I imagine we will be back in for Sturridge in January, Chelsea will try and sign every player worth more than 30 mil and that wil leave a few surplus options for us to have a crack at. Would be nice to land Lorente, but too old for the money they will want and am far from convinced that FSG will open the chequebook in a big way which will leave us picking up the scraps.

The Singaporean Liverpool Never Managed To Sign

I cannot imagine that 12-15 mil pounds for a proven striker who will only be 28 next Feb be called too old. 25 mil pounds maybe too much for his age but if his stance continue to be hard on not signing a contract, I think Bilbao might be forced to accept that range of bid 12-15 for him. But in any case, I think he might go to another Spanish or an Italian club. FSG has been willing to open their cheque books, and they did open them in a big way, just not on our terms but on their terms.

Depressing thing is if we are linked with a good player these days I either think theres no truth in it or we'll just balls up the transfer anyway, I have turned into the worlds biggest pessimist after the transfer window disaster!

Always one of us. RIP.

Wrong age for FSG though given the likely situation they may have to swallow it

but conversely we could be so low down in the table by then that no fucker of any real quality would touch us with a barge pole. Then we would really be paying the price for silly buggery last summer

If we somehow are in the top 6-8 by January and within a few points of the main top 4 bunch then it could be investigated, bottom half of the league and we may be asking Henry's mate Lerner if Darren Bent is available. At best
